Not knowing much about this boat you are buying, it hard to say how to get the proof you are looking for..

But, I would ask to see if the owners have the Certificate of Origin. If they bought the boat new, the bank is likely to have taken this, in lieu of the Tittle, which doesn't exist in NH. If they have payed the boat off, then they likely have this back...

Of course if they bought the boat used, chance of them ever having seen the Certificate of Origin is highly unlikely...

The bottom line is the proof you are looking for sometime is hard to come buy... I know I save all my proof of ownership paper work, but some people do not.

The current/previous registrations, will help you understand that they do have rights to the boat, and where legally able to register it.
